Strawberry Smoothie

Summer is the perfect time for smoothies. When in a hurry, I used to run by somewhere like Smoothie King to get a liquid lunch. Little did I know, the smoothie I typically got was 400 calories! And some of their smoothies are more than 1,000 calories for a small! After this little discovery, I thought it may be best to stay away from smoothies, but that's easier said than done, so instead I created my own healthier alternative.

Cast of Characters:
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup nonfat milk
  • 6 oz fat free vanilla yogurt
Directions:
  1. Blend well in your blender (works best if frozen strawberries are on the bottom)
  2. Pour into awesome reusable cup with straw.
  3. Enjoy delicious summertime bliss! :)
I'm sure this could be done with many other frozen fruits (mango, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, etc.), but I don't currently have the time to experiment right now. Let me know if you try another combo that works!
